Answer 1

You are running into a known problem in XmlSerializer Code Generation component: it cannot handle some cases of nested unbounded elements.  The Object Model it creates is not valid: user cannot use it to produce xml messages.

Unfortunately to fix this you have to edit your schema to make sure that all array-like constructs will be handled properly.

 

You would need to slightly modify all schema constructs that have the following:

<xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded">

  <xs:element ../>

<xs:sequence>

 or

<xs:sequence>

  <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

<xs:sequence>

 

 

Have to be changed to

 

<xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded">

  <xs:element ../>

<xs:sequence>

<xs:attribute name="tmp" type="xs:string" />

And

<xs:sequence>

  <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

<xs:sequence>

<xs:attribute name="tmp" type="xs:string" />

 

Adding attribute will force XmlSerializer code generator using a class with array member and proper XmlSerialization attributes for the construct instead of an unwrapped array.

Answer 5

Hi all,

Has any further progress been made on this bug ? e.g. a bugfix in xsd.exe, or any cleaner workarounds ?
I came to the same conclusion and added a "dummy" atttribute, and it all started working, but I don't want to see the dummy property in the generated code !!!!

Any help would be most welcome...

Thanks,

Andy

Answer 6

Hi,

Have the same problem but I am in more deep ____, I use a standard - fi2 ( local std in sweden for building std information) so I have problems fideling with the elements. What I do now, will be gone in next release and I have to do it allover again and there are 450+schema elements  used.  Puh...

Any plans for a new release of the XmlSerializer?

Anyone who wants a bug fixed should file it at http://connect.microsoft.com. This forum is not a way to get bugs fixed.

Answer 8

I have faced same problem while serializing the instances of the classes generated from the xsd files, which are given by the AXIS service deployers.

Thank you very much Elena, your solution helped me a lot :)

 

Answer 9

I struggled for a nearly a day as I was facing the  same issue with all the unbounded elements that were multi dimensional arrays. The rest of the elements even though unbounded compiled fine. The solution worked perfectly, thank you so much
